(Yahoo!) - Then: Young Tim McGraw was growing up in the tiny, northeast Louisiana town of Start when he sat for this early '70s-era photo with his younger half-sisters. "My sisters and I Sandy and Tracey Throw back thurs #tbt," he captioned the shot.

Now: Tim McGraw, 46, is still surrounded by women! He and his country queen wife, Faith Hill, have three daughters, ages 12, 13, and 16. What's changed, however, is that McGraw's usually rocking a cowboy hat during his many performances, such as the one he's scheduled to give at the Academy of Country Music Awards this weekend. McGraw was also nominated in seven categories; he and Miranda Lambert tied for the most nominations this year.

Yahoo will livestream the red carpet arrivals of some of the night's top nominees beginning Sunday, April 6 at 3:30 p.m. PT. Get ready for the big night by watching this video of McGraw and his wife accepting the award for Vocal Event of the Year at the soiree back in 1998.
